Overview

General information

The National Disability Insurance Scheme Launch Transition Agency (‘the Agency’) was established on 29 March 2013 by the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (‘the Act’). The Agency became financially independent on 1 July 2013 and is an Australian Government controlled not-for-profit entity.

From 1 July 2013, arrangements were put in place to ensure that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (‘the Scheme’) could be introduced gradually, ensuring a smooth transition for people with disability and support providers. The Scheme now has operations in all states and territories of Australia with full access to the Scheme commencing progressively from 1 July 2016.

Objectives of the Agency

The objective of the Agency is to operate under the Act, and in conjunction with other legislation, to give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In doing so, the Agency supports the independence and social and economic participation of people with a disability.

The Agency is structured to meet a single Government outcome (Outcome 1):

Individual control and choice in the delivery of reasonable and necessary care and supports to improve the independence, social and economic participation of eligible people with disability, their families and carers, and associated referral services and activities.

The net cost of delivering this outcome at 30 June 2017 was $981.4M (2016: $565.29M).

The Agency supports participants in the Scheme to exercise individual choice and control in respect to the delivery of reasonable and necessary supports. This allows people with disabilities, their families and carers to achieve improved outcomes in their lives. It also works to support the wider disability sector to promote better outcomes for people with a disability, in areas such as research and building community awareness.

The Agency makes estimates of current and future expenditure as well as identifies and manages financial risks and issues relevant to the financial sustainability of the Scheme. This is achieved by adopting an insurance-based approach, informed by actuarial analysis, to the provision and funding of support for people with a disability. It also regularly reports on the sustainability of the Scheme.

The continued existence of the Agency in its present form and with its present programs is dependent on Commonwealth Government policy, continuing funding by Parliament for the Agency’s administration and programs and agreement with state and territory governments.



The Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements as required by section 42 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:


  1. Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Financial Reporting) Rule 2015 (FRR) for reporting periods ending on or after 1 July 2015; and

  2. Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations reduced disclosure requirements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) that apply for the reporting period.

The financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain assets and liabilities which are recorded at fair value.

Except where stated, no allowance is made for the effect of changing prices on the results or the financial position of the Agency. The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars and values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise specified.



New Australian Accounting Standards

Adoption of New Australian Accounting Standard Requirements

No accounting standard has been adopted earlier than the application date as stated in the standard. There have been other new, revised or amended standards or interpretation that were issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board prior to the sign off date that are applicable to the current reporting period that had a material effect, or that are not expected to have a future material effect, on the Agency’s financial statements.



Future Australian Accounting Standard requirements

The following new, revised and amending standards and interpretations were issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board prior to the signing of the statement by the Accountable Authority and Chief Financial Officer, which are expected to have a material financial impact on the Agency’s financial statements for future reporting periods:



Standard/Interpretation

Application date for the Agency

Nature of impending change/s in accounting policy and likely impact on initial application

AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers;

AASB 2014-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 15;

AASB 2015-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Effective Date of AASB 15


1 July 2019

Nature: The revised Standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, replacing AASB 111 Construction Contracts, AASB 118 Revenue, Interpretation 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, and Interpretation 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, Interpretation 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers, and Interpretation 131 Revenue-Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The core principle is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration in exchange for those goods or services.

Likely impact: Expected to have minimal impact on the Agency’s financial statements as at the date of assessment, the Agency does not earn a significant amount of revenue from contracts with customers.



AASB 16 Leases

1 July 2019

Nature: The revised standard replaces AASB 117 Leases and provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value. Lessors continue to classify leases as operating or finance, with AASB 16’s approach to lessor accounting substantially unchanged from its predecessor, AASB117.

Likely impact: Expected to have an impact on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of leases.



AASB 1058 Income of Not-for-Profit Entities

and


AASB 2016-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Australian Implementation Guidance for Not-for-Profit Entities

1 July 2019

Nature: AASB 1058, AASB 2016-7 and AASB 2016-8 clarify and simplify the income recognition requirements that apply to not-for-profit (NFP) entities, in conjunction with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. They supersede all the income recognition requirements relating to private sector NFP entities, and the majority of income recognition requirements relating to public sector NFP entities, previously in AASB 1004 Contributions. The requirements of AASB 1058 more closely reflect the economic reality of NFP entity transactions that are not contracts with customers (as defined in AASB 15). The timing of income recognition depends on whether such a transaction gives rise to a liability or other performance obligation (a promise to transfer a good or service), or a contribution by owners, related to an asset (such as cash or another asset) received by an entity.

Likely impact: Expected to have an impact on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of inkind gains recognised as a result of the difference between consideration paid and the fair value of services received by the Agency.



All other new, revised and amending standards and interpretations that were issued prior to signing date and are applicable to future reporting periods are not expected to have a material impact on the Agency’s financial statements.

Taxation

The Agency is exempt from all forms of taxation except Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).



Events after the reporting period

The Commonwealth and West Australian (WA) governments announced an agreement for a nationally consistent but state-run National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Western Australia. The NDIS and WA NDIS trials were set to end on 30 June 2017, however, WA and Commonwealth negotiations are continuing. To ensure people with disabilities are not delayed in accessing the Scheme, interim arrangements have been implemented, and this involves the Agency continuing to operate the WA site.
